What we've done

Atco Wood Products

Java EE

Enterprise class reporting system

Acurate transformation of data to information

Mobile ready input system

A plywood veneer manufacturing plant. After trying three different software developers, Atco Wood Products sought out Simply Code to develop a system that would automate the gathering of production data from various machine centers in the plant.

Simply Code IT Solutions developed a solution that, at 5 minute intervals, queries the different machine centers for production specific data. As with all systems, there is some data that can only be manually entered, so a mobile responsive web interface was developed to enter such data. At the end of each shift, the application then amalgamates the gathered data and converts it into useful information for plant managers to effectively direct plant operations.

For example, the application provides automatic emails to the various management personnel with information on production per hour, total production, recovery and downtime. Every week, a chart is automatically produced showing the twenty day trend in production, recovery and plant uptime.

Kootenay Currency Exchange

Developed custom currency exchange application

Increased speed of currency exchange transactions

Saved on accounting fees with application reports

When Simply Code first met with Kootenay Currency Exchange (KCE), there was no foreign exchange software that was suitable for their needs as a small business. Keeping track of all of KCE's transactions manually proved difficult and time-consuming, resulting in a complex and costly year-end accounting process.

KCE needed a means to track and expedite their business transactions, so Simply Code built a custom application called Function FX. With this new application, all transactions were being recorded and stored in KCE's systems. This increased the speed at which transactions could be processed, and allowed the creation of reports to simplify accounting procedures, resulting in considerable savings on accounting fees.

This new system incorporates connections with external systems to obtain real-time currency and precious metal exchange rates. In addition, it connects to official government websites to obtain the latest information on blacklisted individuals and corporations the US and Canadian government mark as unable to legally make currency exchanges. This application uses modern technologies to allow KCE to continue to grow its business without limitation.

With such a long-standing working relationship, Simply Code is not an outsider to Kootenay Currency Exchange. By providing ongoing support and maintenance, Simply Code has been integral to the success of KCE.

Developed ticket tracking database application

Enabled access to up-to-date invoicing information

Reduced double-billing expenses

With thousands of work tickets coming from many active wells, Statoil Canada needed a way to streamline the manual processing of these invoices so costs could be tracked immediately and accurate payment could be provided.

Simply Code developed a ticket tracking database for real time recording of the tickets from each oil well. In addition to this database, Simply Code created first a desktop application that subsequently evolved into a web application that allows communication between the many locations where the work tickets are entered in the new ticket tracking database. For Statoil Canada, having work ticket information at their finger tips immediately allows for up-to-date comparison with vendors' purchase orders and accurate payment records, considerably reducing double billing expenses.
